June 21

Today is a relatively easy day. Tests and lectures in the morning and free the remainder of the day.

Tomorrow we leave for a three day two night trip west and south through the Negev, visit some archeological sites and back to the east to stay overnight in a hostel in Arad.

We then visit some more archeological sites and spend the night somewhere. Then we head for Masada, the Dead Sea and En-Gedi and then home.

No wireless connection where we are going so I will update the blog when I return on June 25.

Below is a group picture from the Mount of Olives looking over the Kidron Valley to the Holy City. I asked the professor to airbrush some hair on me, but he laughed.
